I
know
as
much
as
that
myself
.
What
do
you
mean
?
”
“
I
mean
he
’
s
a
little
likely
to
do
it
as
the
oldest
man
in
the
stable

“
A
good
deal
better
,
thank
you
,
”
she
answered
,
closing
the
window
in
some
fear
lest
her
husband
should
have
been
made
anxious
by
the
news
of
Diamond
’
s
expedition
.
He
knew
pretty
well
,
however
,
what
his
boy
was
capable
of
,
and
although
not
quite
easy
was
less
anxious
than
his
mother
.
But
as
the
evening
drew
on
,
the
anxiety
of
both
of
them
increased
,
and
every
sound
of
wheels
made
his
father
raise
himself
in
his
bed
,
and
his
mother
peep
out
of
the
window
.
Diamond
had
resolved
to
go
straight
to
the
cab
-
stand
where
he
was
best
known
,
and
never
to
crawl
for
fear
of
getting
annoyed
by
idlers
.
Before
he
got
across
Oxford
Street
,
however
,
he
was
hailed
by
a
man
who
wanted
to
catch
a
train
,
and
was
in
too
great
a
hurry
to
think
about
the
driver
.
Having
carried
him
to
King
’
s
Cross
in
good
time
,
and
got
a
good
fare
in
return
,
he
set
off
again
in
great
spirits
,
and
reached
the
stand
in
safety
.
He
was
the
first
there
after
all
.
As
the
men
arrived
they
all
greeted
him
kindly
,
and
inquired
after
his
father
.
“
Ain
’
t
you
afraid
of
the
old
’
oss
running
away
with
you
?
”
asked
one
.
“
No
,
he
wouldn
’
t
run
away
with
me
,
”
answered
Diamond
.
“
He
knows
I
’
m
getting
the
shillings
for
father
.
Or
if
he
did
he
would
only
run
home
.
”
“
Well
,
you
’
re
a
plucky
one
,
for
all
your
girl
’
s
looks
!
”
said
the
man
;
“
and
I
wish
ye
luck
.
”
“
Thank
you
,
sir
,
”
said
Diamond
.
“
I
’
ll
do
what
I
can
.
I
came
to
the
old
place
,
you
see
,
because
I
knew
you
would
let
me
have
my
turn
here
.
”
